It is important to understand the broader issues faced by families, this is so you can respond to each family’s individual needs and provide them with support to help them more effectively and attentively. The best way to do this is by asking lots of questions and finding out as much information as possible. For example, finding out the Child’s country of birth, where they grew up, how long they’ve lived in Australia for, what languages they speak, what food do they want their child to eat and is there anything they would like us as educators to do that may help enrich their child’s experience while they are at our centre. Understanding of the children and families in our service is very important because it enables us to share each child’s
The higher socio – economic groups are normally more likely to arrange gatherings and events, to introduce the younger generations to the variety of cultures, beliefs and values and therefore embracing them into the very community that they will shape in years to come.
Diversity means differences and variations, within in people for example different races, beliefs, physical appearances, age, capabilities, customs and gender and class.
Diversity is a notion, when applied to the majority of circumstances, can create a positive conclusion. The trick to producing a positive outcome is often how the different aspects are brought together. Consider a classic dinner combination peas and carrots, the two colors look appealing and the two flavors comes together as one making a superb side dish. Now consider oil and water, these two substance are not often considered a good combination. Although, this is not always the case; olive oil and vinegar (which is water based) when mixed, come together into a delectable salad dressing. Diversity and inclusion should also apply to humans by bringing people together who are different it can creates a whole that is enhanced by the
I find that the concepts of diversity, inclusion and social justice to be important because they build on each other and have the power to change the world. When all of these aspects work together and are acknowledged then we are able to work toward changing social norms and creating aspects in society that are focused on equity, rather than equality. Of course, social justice should be the goal that we as individuals want to achieve in liberating areas of our that have limited and restrained others. I connect diversity and appreciating diversity with being the foundation to this equation of equality because individuals need to understand that there will be differences between people. I enjoy the statement on, “… Who is in the room?” because it starts to explain the variations in personal characteristics within a group of people. This is going to be part of my position as an RA within Resident Life because a floor’s residence are going to have wide range in their own diversities through their age, sexual orientation, journeys to get to college, race and ethnicity, etc. I am proud to have experienced the things I have and lived and go to high school in such a place like Aurora, CO to where I was able to live and embrace a diverse community. I came to define this diversity to be normal, but coming up to CSU and Fort Collins has shown me how much of Colorado does not have the same kind of standards. The next support beam to building this idea that works toward social would be
To me, Professor Rashmi Goel is the epitome of diversity inclusiveness in the workplace at Denver Law. As one of the key people in the Race, Place and Law organization, she lives by the standards of acceptance, understanding, and inclusiveness. She is one of the key reasons that I feel at home and at peace at Denver law.
To provide optimal care to an increasingly diverse population, all health care professionals must become culturally competent practitioners (Cohen, Gabriel, & Terrell, 2002). Diversity improves underrepresented minority groups thus preparing a culturally competent workforce with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behavior required of a workforce to provide services to persons from a wide range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Supporting diversity assist to provide improved access to high-quality services for persons in society who remain underserved. Greater diversity amplifies the pool of practitioners and public policymakers available to accept management roles in various departments contribute to governmental efforts that address important
Individuals with autistic spectrum disorders from black and minority ethnic communities face the threat of discrimination from two fronts, their ethnicity and disability. Individuals with autism may not understand culture and have their own preference, which can lead to conflict. EG: I supported an individual who came from a black Caribbean background. Her mother insisted she had foods from her culture, however, the individual preferred European foods and would refuse to eat the food her mother prepared. This lead to conflict with the carers, herself and her mother.
Land of the free and home of the brave is a phrase that many people use to describe America. Others may think of the United States when they see stars and stripes. Our forefathers strived to begin a nation that would be better than the nations of that time, and they surpassed that goal. When one thinks of America, there are many different ideas that pop into our heads. There are so many components that combine together to create this strong nation. Our freedoms and rights, diversity and equality, and how we overcome struggles are all ideals that represents the United States of America.
This is a poster used to promote inclusiveness and equality of disabled and able people in businesses. It is designed by the British film institute and disability equality in education collaboration as part of the "What have you got to offer?" campaign. This a campaign to suggest to businesses to make places more accessible to disabled people. The whiteboard to the right of the man says "Braille menus" which are used by blind people so they can read. This shows how the restaurant has become more accessible and therefore more inclusive of disabled customers.
Through conversation we learn from one another, and in this learning create ways of overcoming obstacles, understanding differing points of view, implementing innovation, and bettering our world whether that is home, work, school, or society. Throughout diversity is where there is real value. Hearing different points of view makes us consider more options. At this point we need to stop worrying about being offensive to others and just be open and honest to having real conversations that advance our mission at work and in our communities.
I have not really noticed this before, but when I think about it, my friendships have been really diverse as well. My friends have been white, black, and I am sure of many different mixes of nationalities. I have been exposed to some people that you would probable label as racist because of the insensitive way they speak of people of another race. I suppose I am not like that because of the more accepting way I have been raised and the diversity of the friends that I have.
Employees in the healthcare setting will reflect this diversity around gender, race and ethnicity, disability, religion, sexuality, class and age.
Growing up black and modestly middle class can feel like you are stuck in a gray area of diverging cultures. Even in a relatively diverse community, it was not uncommon to be one of the only black students in my honors classes. I remember trying my best to avoid stereotypes and occasionally being reminded of my race and differences. At the same time, when surrounded by my extended family, I was teased for being too “suburban” because I dressed and spoke differently than some of my relatives. Over time, I have learned to appreciate the privileges I have, but adapt and accommodate for the privileges I do not have. My experiences have humbled me and developed confidence in my ability to unify people with different experiences and backgrounds towards achieving a common goal.
Militaries all over the world have historically faced problems with diversity, inclusion, and equality within their ranks. The hyper-masculine culture that has been at the core of many military values has facilitated a perspective that excludes certain populations. Women of all backgrounds as well as gay men have struggled through the years for their right to service. This essay serves to explore the struggles as well as progress the Australian Defense Force has facilitated with its LGBTQ officers, and to analyze the current state of equality and inclusion that the ADF has to offer.
Equality versus equity; the juxtaposition of the two terms is something I’ve visited frequently. Equal treatment for individuals is not always the best course of action (in the sense of “cook book” treatment). As a psychologist, ethical treatment will oftentimes cross cultural bounds different from your own. Awareness of the aforementioned is key. Moreover, the ethics of being a culturally competent psychologist include components such as, cross-cultural communication, multicultural competence, diversity and mental health. Communication is difficult for most humans.
